Chapter 760, Back-to-Back Competition

After defeating Liverpool, Manchester United ushered in back-to-back battles with Juventus in the Champions League group stage.

On October 20, Manchester United went to Juventus' away game to warm up at the Juventus Stadium in advance.

Kintag looked at this stadium and recalled the 2014-2015 season. In the group stage of that season, Manchester United and Juventus were drawn in the same group. Kintag came to this stadium at that time.

And two years later, when Kintag returned to this stadium again, Manchester United had become the king of Europe, which is impressive.

On the night when Manchester United came to Juventus, Dybala came to the hotel where Manchester United stayed to visit his old friends.

Jin Taige looked at Dybala, his heart was full of reluctance: "Paul, how are you doing?"

"Fortunately, after returning to Serie A, I quickly re-adapted to the rhythm." Dybala said honestly.

Back to Serie A?

Jin Taige sighed in his heart: It seems that compared with the Premier League and Manchester United, Dybala still has feelings for Serie A. No wonder, after all, he only joined Manchester United for two years, and he returned to Palermo on loan for another year, so Manchester United may be just a passerby for him.

Although Kintag felt a little sad, he still felt good seeing Dybala coming to visit himself and his former teammates. This young man is still nostalgic.

When he stepped into the stadium, Kintag met Allegri on the sidelines. After the two shook hands, Allegri returned to the home team's coaching bench.

It's not that Allegri isn't friendly, it's because that's just the way he is. He always had a serious look, let alone Jin Taige, even when he was in the team, Allegri rarely spoke.

Taciturn, calm and steady. This is Kintag's impression of Allegri.

But for Kintegger, he still prefers coaches like Mourinho or Guardiola. He always feels that as a coach, he still needs to be passionate, otherwise he will be lifeless and have no enthusiasm. And it also requires some impulsiveness and risk-taking, blindly playing safe, and pursuing ruts, so it is difficult to make a big breakthrough.

However, Allegri's personality is very similar to that of the Juventus team, and the title of "old lady" is not for nothing. But for Juventus, they have become accustomed to the Serie A championship, and their goal for the new season is the Champions League.

The first obstacle currently standing in front of Juventus is Manchester United led by Kintag.

Players from the two teams returned to the locker room from the training ground.

In the locker room of the home team, Allege looked at the players expressionlessly, and said in a low voice: "Our opponents today are not easy. They are the champions of the Champions League last season and the five-time winners of last season. Strength cannot be underestimated. In this game, you must play more steadily and not press too high. Focus on defense in the first half, and then look for offense in the second half."

Hearing what Allegri said, Dybala, who was sitting below, was a little depressed. He recalled that when he was at Manchester United, Kintiger's style of play was very active. He liked a balanced offensive and defensive style of play, and asked the midfielder to protect the forward players and rarely let the forward players return to defense.

But since Dybala came to Juventus, Allegri also asked him to return to defense properly, which made Dybala a little uncomfortable. But the road is chosen by him, and he has to adapt and persevere.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Kintiger told the players very boldly: "Needless to say more about tactical play, we still maintain our play style. The Serie A team has a strong defense, and our forwards need to increase their strength in the fast attack. Efficiency, otherwise their defenders won't give us too many chances to attack."

"Van Dijk and Coulibaly, the two of you are under the greatest pressure in this game. The two forwards Higuain and Dybala on the opposite side, their striker combination is absolutely world-class! Dybala doesn't need me More to say, he has been a teammate with you, and you should be very aware of his technical characteristics, dexterous, smart, good dribbling, and excellent running positions. And Higuain is even more amazing. 36 Serie A goals,

This number is really scary. Therefore, our defense line in this game will encounter a great test. Whether we can defend the two of them to the maximum is the key to this game. "

"Kante, you have a lot of work in this game. You have to expand the defensive area, not man-to-man, but zone defense. The two forwards of the opponent are players who can shoot suddenly, and they are in the penalty area. In addition, the threat to the goal is also great. So you must try to limit the two of them and don't let them get too comfortable with the ball in front of the penalty area."

"Hello, audience friends, this is BT Sport, I'm your old friend Trike, and it's my old partner Nori who is explaining the game with me today."

"This game is the highlight of Group C of the Champions League group stage this season. Manchester United is away against Juventus."

"Before this game, these two teams have won two consecutive victories and ranked the top two in the standings, while Manchester United temporarily ranks first in the group with the advantage of goal difference. The situation of this group is very bright. Manchester United and Juventus are competing for the first place in the group, and the next two group matches will be back-to-back matches between Manchester United and Juventus, and the outcome of these two games will determine the first place in the group."

"Today's game Manchester United formed a 4-3-3 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea; the defense is a combination of Van Dijk and Coulibaly partnering central defenders, on the left and right are Alonso and Kimmich; the midfielder It's Kante, Kroos and De Bruyne; the two wingers Mahrez and Griezmann are on the left and the right; Lewandowski is at the center. The substitutes are Romero, Mendy, Valencia, Na Ingolan, Carrick, Fekir, Salah."

"Since this season, Manchester United has been using this main lineup. In the Premier League and Champions League games that have ended, Manchester United has won consecutive victories, and there have been many big victories! Showing a strong attack power! This game They will face Juventus' strong defensive system in the game, whether they can score goals in the away game, let us wait and see."

"And Juventus formed a 3-5-2 formation today: the goalkeeper is Buffon; the three defenders are Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli; the left and right wingers are Sandro and Alves; The midfielders are Asamoah, Khedira and Pjanic; the two forwards are Higuain and Dybala. The substitutes are Neto, Lichtsteiner, Benatia, Hernane S, Malone, Lemina and Zaza."

"Compared with Manchester United's five-time champion lineup, Juventus' lineup is also very strong. This game can be said to be evenly matched, and the game is about to begin!"
